Jerome Hovaere Torpen Hyperion Integral One Off - $sold

This lovely Torpen knife is a one off, originating from Jerome’s Hyperion model and I am the second owner. Unlike his Hyperion which is a beefy knife, this integral is ultralight and thin, making it a perfect dress carry. I was told the blade is 3V hardened to 62HRc, which doesn’t mean much to me . The blade is a bit off center but is not touching and actually maintains the same gap all the way down the side. The knife is not even broken in yet. Orange peel looks really nice, as do the well lined up carbon scales (no gaps). The dimensions are approximately 75mm cutting edge, 180mm overall, 105mm closed. It’s a very cool knife that is not at all flimsy, has great lockup and very solid detent. Blade centering is reflected in the price that is very reasonable.
